Payment Options

Payment of fees is required in three termly instalments. However, the Arcadia British School, a leading British private school in Dubai, is also able to offer parents the option to pay school fees in ten equal monthly instalments (September to June), if this is preferable. This is a flexible option for parents considering Dubai private school fees.

For the monthly payment option, the school requires you to set up an 'automatic monthly debit' with your bank card or you can submit 10 post-dated cheques.

N.B. Monthly payments are to make parents' lives easier, but the regulatory refund approvals set by the KHDA, which oversees British school fees in the region, still apply.

  • New Year Admission Deposit: AED 7,500*
  • Primary Admission Deposit: AED 5,000*

Existing Students

The school requires a non-refundable and non-transferable re-registration deposit of AED 3000 to secure the enrollment of existing students for the upcoming academic year. This deposit will be deducted from the total tuition fees for the relevant academic year.

As a British private school in Dubai, we aim to offer competitive Dubai private school fees to our community.
